Knighton said multiple teams had interest, but he wants to win. Jacksonville was interested and offered him, but it wasn't as good as ours. He loves Del Rio and is happy. Stoked about other players. Says Big Vick and him are gonna free things up for Dumervil (hehe) and Von. Claims linebackers won't be touched.

that is great work. it says the team believes in Harris and Bolden, but knows they need a little more seasoning, and it gives DRC a good 1 year deal to make money and showcase his talent with a winner and parlay that into a big money multi year deal after this season and if a Porter scenario happens again, Denver can move on with no further attachments.

Don't hold your breath. This team is trying to win a Super Bowl asap so positions that are traditionally slow to develop seem unlikely if you ask me, especially when some of the immediate impact rookie positions are also positions of need.

Pass-rushing DE doesn't take "time to develop".

Dumervil 8.5 sacks as a rookie. Von 11.5 sacks as a rookie. They're going to need someone to take the pressure off Von. Okafor will probably be the best one left on the board at #28.

Who you got? Margus Hunt? Sam Montgomery? Broncos will take the best remaining pass-rusher in a deep draft for pass-rushing DE's. They probably couldn't have played this FA/draft any better.

DTs are slow to develop, but edge rushers routinely make a first year impact. I'm not certain that's the direction we'll go (Dumervil situation is still up in the air, plus potential FA addition even if he's released), but I don't think first year impact at that position will be a concern if the value and player is right.

DRC got flagged a lot last year and had some bad games. That team didn't generate much pressure at all. Not many corners signed, this is like Porter last year. If he performs, he will get extended. If he doesn't no big deal. Glad to see Denver didn't go 3-4 years with him and end up guaranteeing something that wasn't there.

I'm watching Stewart Bradley's press conference and he is impressing me. Very well-spoken, humble and thankful to be on a winning team. Who knows what he brings to the table, but he sounds hungry and eager. Says the staff at Dove Valley has a confidence about them that is encouraging and awesome to see as a player.

Knighton's presser is good too. You guys should watch 'em.

I watched them both and thought the same thing. Sound like two quality guys. Although, Bradley seems to be a cross between Jake Plummer and some intellectual designer type.
